Where can I get a 12V 10W transformer?

[ProDave]

As the title says.

I need a transformer to run a single 12V 10W G4 lamp.

All I can find is transformers 20VA minimum

Will a 20VA transformer really be upset with just a single 10W bulb (I've never tried it)

Doesn't need to be dimmable, just on or off.

Preferably one with terminals rather than fly leads (light fitting has fly leads so want to avoid in line junction on 12V side)

You mean like this one LED Driver Transformer for MR16 MR11 Bulb Light DC 12V | eBay

well it's cheap enough for a punt, but will take a couple of weeks to get here.

I've not looked but always try that before any thing wots it for a client or yourself

It's for a client, but an unpaid job (doing some odd jobs for a plumber friend in return for some work he did for me) so the cheaper the better, and long delivery is not an issue.

Eagle used to do these in a 12-0-12 secondary configuration.

That looks good. That's the first one I have seen that says it goes down to 0W

Thanks.

I have fitted a few standard 60va trannys with only a 10w G4 lamp. Never been a problem.

They would sell more of them if the told you they would work like that, rather than making an assumption that you are unlikely to use anything less than a single 20W lamp.

I could have a look in the base of our fibre optic Christmas tree if you like , I know it works with a 10w lamp . Thats all I 've had to do with 10w TBH.

Alpha. Believe it or not, one of the previous forum upgrades dragged us into the 21st century, with all that punctuation stuff included.

Most of us now use it......posts are so much easier to read
